Isaiah 41:2-4
American Standard Version
2 Who hath raised up one from the east, [a]whom he calleth in righteousness to his foot? he giveth nations before him, and maketh him rule over kings; [b]he giveth them as the dust to his sword, as the driven stubble to his bow. 3 He pursueth them, and passeth on safely, even by a way that he had not gone with his feet. 4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I, Jehovah, the first, and with the last, I am he.

Isaiah 41:2-4
New International Version
2 “Who has stirred(A) up one from the east,(B)
calling him in righteousness(C) to his service[a]?(D)
He hands nations over to him
and subdues kings before him.
He turns them to dust(E) with his sword,
to windblown chaff(F) with his bow.(G)
3 He pursues them and moves on unscathed,(H)
by a path his feet have not traveled before.
4 Who has done this and carried it through,
calling(I) forth the generations from the beginning?(J)
I, the Lord—with the first of them
and with the last(K)—I am he.(L)”
